It is good to be a backbencher again in the Dáil, although the Seanad was not such a bad place for asking questions.

I want to ask about local authority housing developments under the Rebuilding Ireland programme. Are they all back up-and-running throughout the country? During the past ten or 15 years the local authorities were buying houses on the open market and getting developers to build houses for them. Is there a change in policy now whereby the local authorities are getting involved in building local authority housing directly?

What are the Minister's views on the Covid-19 crisis? Will it have an effect on house prices throughout the State?
